This is the artwork for a prayer sermon series. The focus was not so much on how to pray, but why we should pray. Once again, I didn't design this, but thought I would get the creative spark out to the masses.
We set up ten prayer stations in our prayer room for the duration of the series. Individuals could stop in and do as many of the stations as they wanted. We also produced a 16-page prayer guide that included sermon notes and daily devotions.
EMS PRAYER
As I perform my duty Lord whatever be the call,
Help to guide and keep me safe from dangers big and small.
I want to serve and do my best no matter what the scene,
I pledge to keep my skills refined, my judgment quick and keen.
This calling to give of my self most do not understand,
But I stand ready all the time to help my fellow man.
To have the chance to help a child restore his laugh with glee,
A word of thanks I might not hear, but knowing is enough for me.
The praise of men is fine for some, but I feel truly blessed,
That you oh Lord have chosen me to serve in EMS!
